I have the first link up posted below as well as a torrent link for those familiar with how to use it, I'll be posting a few mirrors as well. If anybody has any issues viewing the video feel free to PM me any questions, i would be happy to help

As for the video itself i really appreciate "Frank" taking time to do this, i'm sure at the very least it will lead others suffering from POIS to this website and further progression on treatments. Unfortunately i personally found the surgery on the video a little hard to swallow and am not sure i could ever bring myself to do that even if it means living a better life.

New evidence supports the hypothesis that postorgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) in men involves a hyper-reactive immune response of the mucosal epithelium that lines the urinary tract to seminal fluid.The term 'POIS' was coined 9 years ago by the Netherlands-based duo Marcel Waldinger and Dave Schweitzer.

1. Are there any other known allergies that last for 7 days after exposure and have similar symptoms?2. Why don't women with semen allergies react in the same way as men with POIS?

I'm not saying you could answer them, but maybe speculate... Seeing the wheal size photographs are convincing in support of the allergy theory.

You can't compare the female body with the male body. The male urethra and the vas deferens are not the same as oviduct. And women with semen allergy have a few symptoms that are the same as POIS.

This makes intuitive sense, especially given the acidic properties of womens' bodies in those areas that may alter the allergens (ie render them harmless). When within a man, proteins and whatnot in the semen remain in their basic environment (semen), but who knows how they get altered perhaps even denatured when thrown into an acidic environment. It might drastically change the way these allergens are dealt with by our immune system. Not to mention, maybe all these women are just not allergic to what we are allergic to in the semen...I wonder if girlwind might have experienced this and have more information.

And who knows what effect the ova have on the semen in relation with an allergy. The ova is a womans own liquid. So that could have another effect when a POIS-patient comes in contact with the ova of a woman during sex.

Women also have more progesterone that can mean something. I get a burning sensation at my lower back when i have done one to many. i also listed some of the symptoms dr waldinger noted that are similar to other allergy reactions.

This is interesting:It seems that men can suffer from the same semen allergy which women suffer from when exposed to semen, despite the differences in anatomy, acidity, etc... If you read this explanation of semen allergy, you will see that the symptoms for men and women are grouped together. It does say that symptoms vary, but are characterized by certain ones.

Anyways...I can surely attest to experiencing no symptoms as soon as I feel like my sperm supply has fully regenerated...

I can attest to that feeling too.

Well it sure seems like it. But you can't take your sperm count in your head! LOL

I was not taking my sperm count in my head. I was sensing a legitimate biological feeling, which I had grown attuned to and aware of. Perhaps the cause of that feeling is unknown, and "illusory" as demo has suggested. However, it is legitimate, and has a legitimate cause.

Reflecting on my earlier posts, I hedged a little more than I should have about "subjective" and "feeling".

After 35 years of this, it's way more than "illusory".

When I "feel" semen is low (early regeneration), the ejaculate is....LOW VOLUME.

When I "feel" semen is high (late stage regen), the ejaculate is.....HIGH VOLUME.

Daveman, I feel badly about our overposting on regen, but I honestly feel this is going somewhere and NOT round in circles. It feels like a tiny piece of the puzzle is ADDED each time we discuss this. But I know it must appear tedious to you and some others. Many thanks for your patience.

1 - anti-sperm IgG = immunoglobulin is a monomer that can be found in the genital tract secretions of man and woman. These are large molecules that do not cross the mucosa, so the concentration of IgG anti-sperm in semen and cervical mucus is <1%, its concentration in serum. This concentration is too low to allow agglutination of sperm in the ejaculate and in the cervical mucus.

2-Anti-Sperm IgM = immunoglobulin is a pentamer. These molecules are larger than IgG, and therefore do not pass the cell barrier.

3-IgA anti-sperm antibodies agglutinating = sperm in semen and cervical mucus are of type IgA (Kremer and Jager, 1992). They are manufactured in the cervical mucus (Schumacher, 1988) and epididymis. Indeed, IgA antibodies (in contrast to the IgG), present in sperm and cervical mucus, are responsible for disorders of interaction between sperm and cervical mucus.

4- IgE = more known for women ( local redness, burining) and also Gulf War Syndrome = Ig E against own semen (I guess you talked about it earlier too : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War_syndrome) just the wiki article but I read more about it.

Yes, I'm sorry I've been complicit in this too! []I also feel a little reckless...The next few weeks are very busy for me- so I'll check in when I can. Wish me luck!
